Urban Martial Saint

The man disguised as a delivery worker wasn't foolish; he didn't abruptly knock on the door. Instead, he spoke as if he were still a delivery worker. In such a situation, most people would likely not have realized, and indeed might have thought the delivery worker had returned.

By speaking this way, even if the person inside hadn't been poisoned, they wouldn't suspect he had other intentions. Thus, he was able to probe the situation inside the room.

However, the key issue was, Ye Qing was no longer in the room. He came to knock on the door now, naturally receiving no response.

After waiting for a while without any response, the delivery worker's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He wasn't aware that Ye Qing had already escaped, and believed Ye Qing had been poisoned, which would be a major event for them. If Ye Qing was poisoned, wouldn't that mean they all would become The Tycoon?

At this time, the tall and short men in the opposite room also had similarly excited expressions. However, they didn't dare to be careless and beckoned the delivery worker to knock a few more times.

The delivery worker suppressed his wild joy and really knocked a few more times. But the result was the same; there was no movement at all in the room, not even the slightest response.

Thus, the delivery worker knocked five or six times consecutively, confirmed that Ye Qing was indeed poisoned, and immediately ran excitedly back to the opposite room. But before he entered the room, the tall and short men had already come out.

"It's done!" the tall man said excitedly.

"Keep it down!" the short man glared at him and whispered, "As long as we know about this, that's enough. If the sect finds out, we're not going to get any benefits at all; I bet we won't even get a cut of the money!"

"Right, right!" the tall man nodded repeatedly but couldn't suppress his joy as he looked at Ye Qing's room, saying, "How much do you think this guy could be worth?"

"I guess it could be tens of billions!" the delivery worker said, looking at the short man, "Senior brother, we must first think about the price. If we rush over there and then open our mouths, it would make us look unprepared!"

"Tens of billions? Would the Wanyan Family give us that?" the tall man asked.

The delivery worker said, "The Wanyan Family never lacks money. Haven't you heard our master say it before? The Wanyan Family has accumulated wealth over thousands of years, more than the world's richest tycoons. Ye Qing is the person they most want to catch. They wouldn't be stingy even with hundreds of billions, let alone tens of billions!"

"Who cares how much money!" the short man said straightforwardly, "Just remember, once we catch Ye Qing, we'll never want for anything in life. Enough, stop talking and get him out quickly. Don't forget, this poison was stolen from our master. We must take Ye Qing away as soon as possible. Otherwise, if our master discovers his poison is missing, he will surely find us. By then, we won't get a penny, and we might even lose our lives!"

"Right, right!" the tall man and delivery worker nodded repeatedly. In this matter, the two dared not be negligent, following the short man to Ye Qing's room door.

The delivery worker had knocked a few times just now, already proving there was no response inside, indicating Ye Qing was definitely poisoned. So, the three of them didn't waste any extra words; arriving at the door, they immediately pulled out tools from their bodies and began to pick the lock.

The hotel room's locks were actually quite ordinary, and the three likely had experience doing such things often. Therefore, the lock was easily opened.

Excitedly, the three pushed the door open and rushed inside, then prepared to seize Ye Qing, but were astonished to find the entire room empty; Ye Qing was not in the room.

"Eh, where did he go?" the tall man exclaimed in a low voice, simultaneously pushing open the bathroom door and searching around; Ye Qing was nowhere to be found in the room.

"Right, where did he go!" the delivery worker also asked in astonishment.

The short man was the first to angrily shout, "Damn it, not good, he's escaped!"

"Escaped? How did he escape?" the tall man and delivery worker asked simultaneously.

"You two idiots, look at the window!" the short man cursed while running to the window, sticking his head out to look at the backyard.

The tall man and delivery worker just then saw the condition of the window, from which the glass was long gone. Undoubtedly, Ye Qing must have exited through this window.

"What's going on?" The tall man still hadn't reacted, and asked in surprise, "If he smashed through the glass, how could we have not heard the sound?"

"Look closely at that glass, damn it!" the short man exclaimed angrily, "There's tape on it, even if the glass shatters, it won't make much noise. That damn Ye is really ****** cunning, he could even think of such a method. What the hell does this guy do for a living!"

The tall man and the delivery worker just discovered the situation with the glass at this moment and were both greatly astonished. They were both very shocked by Ye Qing's method. They didn't expect Ye Qing to escape the hotel in such a way, without anyone knowing. No wonder there was no sound when they knocked on the door; turns out Ye Qing had already run away.

"So what do we do now?" the delivery worker asked anxiously. Having missed their opportunity, how could they not be furious!

"What else can we do but chase after him?" the short man replied tersely and was about to leave. Just then, the door was pushed open again, and several men walked in from outside.

Seeing these men, the three inside the room suddenly turned pale, their bodies involuntarily starting to shiver.

"Where are you three junior brothers planning to go?" the leading man glanced at the three and said, "Master is right downstairs, aren't you going to pay him a visit?"

The men who entered were indeed the short man and his companions' senior brothers. After the three found Ye Qing's trail, they stole poison from their sect to use against Ye Qing, intending to keep this opportunity to themselves. However, they didn't expect Ye Qing to escape the poison and for their sect members to catch up to them first. The fear in their hearts could well be imagined. They knew very well how their sect dealt with people like them, and returning would be anything but pleasant!

"Senior brother, we... we just came here for a little errand, there's... there's nothing else..." the short man hurriedly said with a trembling voice.

The senior brother gave a cold smile and said, "Whether there's anything else or not, go tell the Master. Are you three not planning to make our Master wait?"

The three of them looked at each other, and at this point, they had no chance to resist. They could only hang their heads down, sullenly following the senior brothers downstairs.

In a spacious room downstairs, there sat several elderly men of slightly advanced age. The one leading them, with snow-white hair, was not very tall, but his eyes constantly flashed with a shrewd light, suggesting he was no simple character.

This old man was named Wu Zishi, the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect. He had been a reputable figure around Medicine King Mountain for a long time, being a Top-Level Master and about to enter the realm of a Peak Master. Although he had been in seclusion for some time, his sect remained under his control. The ones beside him were his junior brothers, and during his seclusion, they managed the Five Poison Sect for him.

Wu Zishi was also the master of these men. When the senior brother led the short man and his companions into the room, the short man immediately knelt and prostrated himself, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

The tall man and the delivery worker also hurriedly knelt down; they were very afraid of this Master.

Wu Zishi glanced at the three and slowly said, "One sentence, why did you steal my Five Poisons Powder?"

The three short men knew clearly that Wu Zishi was only prepared to give them one chance to speak. After this sentence, they were as good as dead; Wu Zishi would kill them directly. Of course, if they didn't speak, Wu Zishi would not spare them either. This sentence was a death warrant!

The tall man and the delivery worker were trembling with fear; they had no idea how to respond. Over the years, Wu Zishi's authority made them dare not doubt his words for a moment.

The short man was also very fearful but knew well his Master's temper. If he didn't speak, he would still end up dead. So, taking a deep breath, he immediately said, "Disciple wanted to help Master become a beyond peerless master, that's why I stole the Five Poisons Powder!"

Wu Zishi suddenly stood up, staring coldly at the short man. With his hand raised, his eyes flashed with a cold gleam, he sternly said, "Are you mocking your Master?"

Wu Zishi wasn't even a Peak Master yet, and the short man said he wanted to help him become a beyond peerless master; these words indeed sounded like mockery. However, the fact that Wu Zishi didn't kill the short man directly showed that his words still had some allure to him, thus granting him another chance to speak.

"I dare not!" the short man immediately said, "Disciple is truly worried for Master. Master, please calm your anger, and allow me to explain in detail!"

"I'll give you one minute. If you can't make it clear, I'll kill you with my own hands!" Wu Zishi coldly replied.

The short man felt a lot more at ease; he knew his life was now basically spared.

"Master, I know that using ordinary methods to become a beyond peerless master is almost impossible. However, there is a method that holds promise!" the short man looked at Wu Zishi and said, "It's the Wanyan Family. The Wanyan Family could definitely help you become a beyond peerless master!"

"Hmph!" Wu Zishi snorted coldly, but didn't speak. And this was understandable: given the current state of the Wanyan Family, helping him to become a beyond peerless master was indeed feasible. However, why would the Wanyan Family help him? With so many Peak Masters vying to be associated with the Wanyan Family, as a mere Top-Level Master, he wouldn't even count as a lackey at the Wanyan Family, so how could he gain their favor and their assistance to become beyond peerless? This was simply nonsense!
